Enlarging my jpeg picture and saving it, while keeping same format

[Bruins93]

Recently someone helped me with zooming in on a picture in Picture Manager
and saving the expanded view. Here is the problem: I have bought back-issues
of the L.A. Times and they come to me in PDF (Acrobat) format. I get actual
pictures of newspaper articles from the 40’s that I want to imbed in a
newsletter I send to my readers…that way I don’t have to rewrite the old
article. I can use the real ones. But my newsletter host doesn’t allow me
to upload PDF’s. Then I learned how to export that into a jpeg format that
is acceptable. But the image comes out too small after it is converted, I
can’t read it. So I need to find a way of blowing up – zooming in – on the
picture in Picture Manager, saving it, then uploading the enlarged article
into my newsletter – all in a jpeg format. If I can’t enlarge and save the
jpeg, maybe I can find away to spread that jpeg image onto a couple pages
instead of it cramming the image into one…that’s why it gets reduced in size.
This is all too complicated for me, but if there’s an answer to this, it will
be very cool for my readers. Reading articles I rewrote just doesn’t have
the same impact as reading the real vintage deal. Thank you to whoever helps
me.

Acrobat 8 can save in various formats, export in various formats or copy
parts of a *.pdf such as a image and paste in another application.

Since you are starting with *.pdf file, you may want to ask for help at the
Adobe forum here:

And the L.A. Times may have something to say about it as well. Since they own the
copyright to the material and are continuing to sell it, you may want to contact
them for permission to distribute the material yourself. Otherwise their lawyers
might be contacting you. Not fun.

In general, you can get higher resolution images even from the free Adobe PDF Reader
by selecting the area you want to copy, zooming in (try 200-400% for starters) and
then doing the copy. After that you can paste into an image editing program and
save the image in any format you like.
